My partner works lates so I do the evenings (2-11pm) with my baby alone. I really really struggle… I feel like she’s happy to play for about 15 mins and then she’s had enough and cries for the rest of the 1 hour and 45 minute wake window. I try to put her down for a nap and she just cries so then I take her downstai...

Taking hours to get out of the house, never wants to be put down, don’t even get to take a bath in peace as his naps are so crap and he goes to bed at god knows 🫣🤣running out of things to do when the weather is pants and playing with the same stuff or doing the same walks

I’m so tired of feeling this way. 🥺

Me and my partner have just broke up and I don’t know what to do with myself I’m a mess

Hey girlies So I live in Essex and have a 18 month old little boy and an 8month old little girl I have just recently split up from my partner and I’m finding things really hard, I feel so isolated and alone , I don’t have many friends and always just find myself sitting at home watching the hours pass by I literall...

Don't get me wrong, I am so grateful for my little girl and my partner. I know I am lucky as friends of mine are struggling to get pregnant and have children. I'm very grateful for everything, I'm just not happy.. I feel this pressure of working 50 hours a week while taking care of our little girl, then the constan...

Hi, so this is my first post. I’m a mom of one three year old girl and I have another little girl on the way. I moved around a lot as a kid and I don’t really have any friends or much of a support system. And I’m clueless about how to fix it. How do you guys come to find other kids for your kids to play with? I don’...

I don't know how to love myself...they say that how we feel about ourselves is reflected in how people are treating you and I believe it's true but i can't accept myself...

I go back to work tomorrow, I don’t even know how I’m going to not be with my little love all day. I’m so so sad.

As days approach til my baby due date is anyone else feeling hopeless or tired of waiting ? I’m always so sad and just find myself frustrated or telling myself I’ll only feel better when the baby is here, I’m getting so impatient and it’s affecting my mood

I feel overstimulated, spiritually exhausted, guilty about feeling all this way and not being happy and perfect with my kids. What should I do with these feelings? I need time for myself then I feel terrible about wanting that. I want to be a wife, not just a mother. I work FT so I just have been an employee and a m...

Hopefully, I can connect with other stepmoms who can help me navigate this, talk things through, and offer some guidance. How do you manage it? How do you stay positive when it’s affecting you so much?

Anyone else just feeling super emotional and stressed about little things!! Trying to go car shopping today as need a 5dr car instead of 3dr and now I’m back home it’s just wiped it out of me my mood is like a zero and just feel so alone even though my partner is amazing

How did everyone come out the other end?? Is there medications? Talking therapy’s? I want to know everyone’s positive stories… in the depths ☹️

I’m struggling with my self esteem my body changes to the point of no return nothing fits me anymore I hate looking at my self in the mirror

Don't even know where to start. I'm in my upper 30s and have a 2.5 year old. No stable income (looking for employment), single and living with my mother. I am so lost in life. I don't know what's up or down. I need to do better for myself and daughter. I just feel like I need help in every avenue of my life. Feeling...

Seriously needing some mum friends feel like I never do anything and my baby is missing out. Have a 4 month old little boy 🩵

I have high functioning anxiety and can’t take my meds. Any suggestions on how to control it some?

It’s just my husband and I we don’t have any friends that actually wanna be there for us. We don’t get to go on date nights without the kids. They are too overwhelming for my mom most times so it’s hard to ask her for a night off. So much for people saying they’ll help when I need it cuz they don’t ever respond.

Currently 7 weeks today. I just became a single expecting mother-to-be last Friday. No matter how much I talk to family and friends I still feel alone. I don’t want to continue picking up the phone an expressing my feelings when nothing will change at all. At the end of the day, I never expected it to be like this. ...
